Description
Well, recently I spent some time watching old soviet (Hello, USSR!!) cartoons. The idea to draw the main cartoon character in TLK style unexpectedly came into my mind, so here he is! The name of the cartoon is "The Lion and The Rabbit" and it is based on Panchatantra tales.Here is an English version: [link]
Here is the Russion one: [link]
If you don`t feel like downloading the video, here is the pictures showing how this "soviet" lion looks like:

Β The russian version has beautiful animation and character designs. Loved the zebras and the lion.

You posted the link to re-voiced version of the Soviet cartoon. Music and voice acting is terrible in this version. Original version:

Wow, really intimidating! You wonderfully caught the power behind those eyes!
Although its character wasn't too explorable as a child I really loved his design. It was very distinctive and memorable. It could be really powerful if it wasn't for its characters flaws.
Could I ask you one thing? For years I've been looking for an old cartoon I saw just once as a child. It was about a lion cub and unfortunately I don't remember much, only that its mother might have been killed (I guess) and it went on a journey (also a guess), but what I remember for sure is this scene when an eagle talks with it and then leaves, hugging it and saying "ty ponimayu/pojoΕ mne" (you understand/understood me). Then the lion cub is shown as an adult lion roaring around, asking for if anyone dares to challenge it, and a lioness does; it ends with them both as a family (again, I think). If you recall it in any way, I would be extremely thankful for sharing the title. : )

Thank you so much! It`s a big pleasure for me just to know that you have seen this cartoon. Ihe lion himself wasn`t a perfect character, rather a bit stupid, but still there was a good work made on his design. I like dark furred lions, so I just couldn`t help drawing him in TLK style
Is that a soviet Russian cartoon? I guess, the cartoon you are talking about is called "Samyi, samyi, samyi" in Russian. In English the title can be translated as kinda "The most.., the most.., the most.."

Yes! It's very distinctive and has an unusual colour palette for a pelt. I have to repeat, you richly caught the lion's sheer might.
This character's design's uniqueness simply grabs attention. I guess it shouldn't be surprising as soviet Russian animations are simply wonderful, greatly artistic and so opulent in their vividness. I actually grew up on them. I love the "Nu, pogodi!" series. And "Koniok Gorbunok" (is it simply "The Humpbacked Horse" in English?) is my absolute favourite.
Yes! That's it! I can't believe it! You've got it from such a meagre description! You are simply a-m-a-z-i-n-g! I haven't seen it in, like, 15 or so years. You have no idea how grateful I am! Thank you so much!

I grew up on them either ( I din`t talk about Disney now, although it played its role as well). I really like some of them. "Nu, pogodi" is my childhood 
"Koniok Gorbunok" is good. Yes, I guess its translation into English would be simply so - "The Humpbacked Horse"
"Bremen musicians" and "Leopold the cat" are also ones of my favourites.
I`m glad I could hepl you with the finding of the cartoon

I like mine better either
Actually, it`s not the best example for soviet cartoons, cuz I believe we have ones that are better in quality of drawing, but still.. I just liked his design
Thank You!
